Coiled Spring (Roll) Pin Source

Anybody know of a source in the Portland area to get coiled roll pins (specifically for an AR trigger guard)? The hardware stores I've looked at only have slotted ones, I hate slotted ones, I don't know why anybody would choose slotted over coiled.

Everywhere I've found online wants $10+ for shipping! It's a freaking pin, just drop it in an envelope, stick a $0.49 stamp on it, and put it in the mailbox!

Stomper is right, I'm looking for coiled roll pins. Aside from cost, there is literally no advantage to using a slotted pin over coiled, coiled goes in easier, holds better, and is stronger than the same size slotted pin. When you're only getting a few of them as for an AR, the cost difference is irrelevant. You can read all about them here if you like: https://www.spirol.com/library/whitepapers/Pins_To_Max_Assembly_Life.pdf

I had no idea they had a firearm hardware section I shop there all the time!

pretty small area. its in the back on the wall behind the bolts and screws in one of the many small little drawers. Mostly small specialty screws if I remember correctly. But they have tons of varieties of roll pins as well.
